Boo and Yay

5 June 2007

A longer post today is forgone again by the continuing saga that is my Apple MacBook. For the second time it has completely died, hence accounting for much wasted time at customer help desks, genius bars and the like.

For those counting at home, I’ve so far had these problems with my MacBook (in the order they happened):

Unreliable trackpad button
Unreliable down arrow key
Dead battery
Top-case discolouration
Motherboard failure
HD failure
HD failure
Motherboard failure

I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow; I’m after a new one, to be honest, but if not I might just buy a MacBook Pro and sell it when it returns repaired…

Anyway, I’ve been cheered up massively by going to see St. Vincent at the Luminaire. Not many people can managed to pull off performing completely solo, without a backing band, but she certainly can – she has brilliant stage presence, not to mention brilliant guitar skills.
